The first skip to defend a Hearts title
Curling Legends - Heather Houston
Heather Houston isn’t a stereotypical skip. She never felt a need to be the centre of attention, often avoiding the limelight. When Heather and Lorraine Lang formed a new team in 1987 with Diane Adams and Tracy Kennedy at front end, quick success made it difficult to evade public attention.
After winning the Scott Tournament of Hearts in 1988, they became the first Team Canada to win the Scotties again, in 1989. Heather shares her thoughts on skipping, finding success, dealing with disappointment and asks the question “if you didn’t win, would you have had as much fun?”
